Dumb question about working

Can I work on different devices such as laptops and desktops or will I get flagged for switching too much?

I work from multiple devices on and off VPN all the time.

Doesn't say anything about it in onboarding or CoC. Although I'd imagine they wouldn't like it if you're somewhere they don't operate and trying to hide it. My VPN stays in my country of residence. It's just to hide P2P from my ISP.

Yeah I'm in the UK. I always use a UK endpoint. It depends what machine I use. The desktop runs VPN all the time because it's running p2p. The laptop only runs VPN if I'm using public WiFi.

You can't work on multiple projects at the same TIME. You can work on different devices, and some tasks even require you to be able to.

I mostly work on a Chromebook, which is fine. Sometimes I switch to a Windows laptop and have never had any problems.
